I’m sure glad you’re still here. : )
But what I’m talking about is sudden cardiac arrest and death in a younger person with no prior symptoms or diagnosis of heart trouble. This is tragically the case sometimes seen in young athletes or younger athletic types, usually male. They are fine one minute and the next, they are dead.
“Sudden cardiac arrest is different from a heart attack, which occurs when blood flow to a portion of the heart is blocked. However, a heart attack can sometimes trigger an electrical disturbance that leads to sudden cardiac arrest.”
In other words sometimes a sudden cardiac arrest is caused by a heart attack which is caused by a blockage but not all sudden cardiac arrests are caused by a heart attack or the blockage that causes the heart attack. People can and do die from sudden cardiac arrest without any blockages.
Well, I do know you’re roght about that, because I have experienced arythmia (sp?) at least a few time since my heart attack.
It’s a very odd feeling that can’t be missed, kind of like a clock ticking at the exact wrong time, it seems to correct itself, thank God, otherwise I’d be back at the hospital.
And yeah I am definitely glad I’m still here...all except for the bills I mean!
